The quick math

The rule of thumb: double your hourly rate, add three zeros. $20/hr × 2 = 40 × $1,000 = $40,000 annual (full-time). Works because 2,080 hours/year (40 × 52) ≈ 2,000 for approximation. Actual is about 4% higher.

What affects your real take-home

  • Overtime — time-and-a-half past 40 hours/week boosts annual by 30–50% for heavy-OT workers.
  • Unpaid time off — if you take 2 weeks off unpaid, multiply by 50/52 ≈ 96% of the base number.
  • Taxes + health insurance — federal, state, and FICA typically take 20–30% off the top for mid-income workers.
  • Benefits — a $60k salary with full benefits often beats a $75k salary with no benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does biweekly not equal annual / 26 exactly?

A year has 52.14 weeks, so biweekly pay periods = 26.07 per year. Two months per year contain three paychecks instead of two. Some employers use 26 even biweekly periods (pay a little more each check); others use exact-days accounting.

How many working hours are in a year?

Standard full-time = 2,080 hours (40 hrs × 52 weeks). With 2 weeks unpaid vacation = 2,000. With 3 weeks PTO included = 2,080 (PTO is paid hours). Most salary calculators assume 2,080.

What's the difference between gross and net pay?

Gross = before deductions. Net = after federal income tax, state income tax, FICA (7.65%), benefit premiums, and 401(k) contributions. For a mid-bracket single filer, net is usually 70–78% of gross.

How do I convert back — salary to hourly?

Divide by 2,080 for an approximate hourly (assumes 40 hrs/week, 52 weeks, no overtime). For true hourly including overtime and PTO-weighting, use the hourly rate calculator from the Tools menu.
